A very short car history and the new car
Discussion
Hello everyone,
My car history, is in fact pretty low in the number of cars owned I'm afraid.
My first car was a lovely 03 1.2 Renault Clio which did the job and never put a foot wrong since buying her in 2007.
Obviously this car was very very slow and boring - Driving friends z4's and 911s and then stepping back into the Clio after was always a bit depressing.
Sadly she was killed last year when a lorry decided to merge into me pushing me along sideways in the process - kind of like that YouTube video (very scary but managed to handbrake my way to safety).
So carless it was now time to buy new car and something fun so I chose an Abarth 595 Turismo:
I wanted an Abarth since when they first came out but was never in a position to get one however new job and higher earnings helped make the dream a reality.
I know they aren't everyone's cup of tea but to me they have a real soul and something about them I can't quite put my finger on - driving is so much fun in these and actually having power to overtake is a blessing.
Very much enjoying the turbo whine and the pops and bangs from the exhaust with more spirited driving.
I don't think anything else at this price range (new) could put a smile on my face like the Abarth can.
Anyway that's it (told you it was a short history).
